For example, anyone allergic to Clindamycin or Lincomycin, individuals with a history of certain types of enteritis, pregnant women or those who might become pregnant, and children under the age of 12 should not use this medication.

Especially after using Clindamycin, severe diarrhea, bloody stools, or colitis may occur, necessitating careful observation. When using this medication, it is crucial to administer it only for the minimum required duration to prevent resistant bacteria from developing, and to immediately stop treatment if symptoms like diarrhea worsen.
